We can't expect much self-control in a kid, but there are parents that can help accomplish that task. Many parents just let their kids eat whatever they want, and stockload their cabinets with unhealthy foods. Parents...are somewhat the blame to their children's obesity.

Ah, we're back to the irresponsible parents part, which is totally true.

But if I'm a single Mom and work 24/7 to support my family, and I give my kid about 2.oo everyday for lunch asking him/her to buy something healthy. I'm sure that simply asking isn't going to help him/her make her decision in eating healthy.

Parents are partly why kids are obese, agreed, but kids still need self-control... which is kind of... hard to get from them.
